You have come to the South SEas to till the soil and develop the myriad islands of the Pacific. You have worded hard. You are far away from the home land and from your friends. Life has not always been easy. But you endured because the military leaders promised to send ships. But they are all hiding in NAICHI. The Arawashi will not come out to save you in the South Seas. All their promises have been broken.
Now the American fleet and land forces have come to occupy this island. The American iar force has driven the Arawashi away. They have already taken the GILBERTS, and MARSHALLS, and the MARIANAS. They have driven back the Japanese fleet.
But you need not die. You can build a new life like the hundreds of thousands of Japanese in HAWAII. After the fighting is over you will be returned to your farms and your homes will be rebuilt. You will be given food, water, and medical care immediately.
Here is what to do: Come out unarmed in the daytime, wear white or colored clothes, and carry white flags held high. Show the American troops that you are friendly and they will treat you as friends.
Save your lives.
